Wanger suddenly became a self-taught artist. He agonized over all the tossed-aside beads and began recycling them into art works showcasing New Orleans.

I didn't realize I had invented a process," he said of his method of cutting the beads from strands and gluing them to sketched outlines. The collaboration with the schools led to the birth of Bead Town in New Orleans<ul> | ||
